These interactive sessions are reserved for volunteers who are available Monday-Friday, 8:30am-4:30pm, and who can commit to volunteering at least 24 hours with UWCA.

As a volunteer preparer, you'll engage directly with clients, gather information, and ensure accurate and complete returns to help taxpayers access the credits and refunds they are eligible for. You'll also have access to an on-site tax specialist who can assist with questions throughout the process.
Once certified, you can volunteer to complete tax returns for members of our community and select the days and times that best fit your schedule within our weekday operating hours (8:30am-4:30pm, Monday-Friday).
